Different location? Maybe it was part of a procedure on the other end like every year or something

my ip address used to get messed up all the time. I was using wireless internet and someone would be using my ip address (on accident i have no idea) so i would be logged in under a new ip address and nothing was the same.
dell tried explaining it to me once and i never really understood how it’s possible to switch

well sometimes it changes if you havent used it enough or something

Maybe somebody is trying to hijack the information you entered as their own?

I was reading online just now about command prompts and issuing a new IP address to your computer…maybe that has something to do with it.
But I’m sure you would know if you recently reconfigured your ip address

mmm here’s what wiki says idk if this helps

Static IP addresses are manually assigned to a computer by an administrator. The exact procedure varies according to platform. This contrasts with dynamic IP addresses, which are assigned either randomly (by the computer itself, as in Zeroconf), or assigned by a server using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).

>>>Even though IP addresses assigned using DHCP may stay the same for long periods of time, they can generally change.

In some cases, a network administrator may implement dynamically assigned static IP addresses. In this case, a DHCP server is used, but it is specifically configured to always assign the same IP address to a particular computer, and never to assign that IP address to another computer. This allows static IP addresses to be configured in one place, without having to specifically configure each computer on the network in a different way.
